ISKO UK starts a new series of regular monthly events devoted to knowledge organization research. The series entitled "Knowledge Organization Research Observatory" will take place online, and will include talks on research projects in the knowledge organization and related fields, in the UK and internationally. The first event in the series is scheduled for 31 March "AI in supporting fact checking, news verification and creative work".
In this Meetup, Dr Tony Russell-Rose considered knowledge workers such as information professionals, legal researchers and librarians and their requirements to create and execute search strategies that are comprehensive, transparent, and reproducible.
Slides are available here
With sadness we report the death on 26 November 2020 of Jean Aitchison, one of the founding members of ISKO UK, who inspired at least two generations with her work on techniques of knowledge organization, particularly faceted classification and thesaurus construction. For more on her life and achievements, see the obituary .
Email and MS Teams from an information architecture perspective
In this Meetup, James Lappin explored what strategies towards email will best enable information professionals to make a positive contribution to how messages are managed, protected and exploited as a knowledge resource.
